I shall say that the two writers below do not know the homeopathy or the homeopathy principle for prevention of illness by homeopahty.
In MY opinion and in my experience (in that I have developed ansd entire system of robust health building to resist disease) the Hahnemann aphorism 141 tells us that using remedies to become extremely tobust and illness resistant is not just valid but he implies it is quite amazing, saying it helps resist all manner of problems,
But read APh 1 for yourlsef.
SO the following two statement are against what Hahnemann teaches there:
1.
2.
Instead, a healthy individual should use whatever remedies will help them resist symptoms they may be prone to getting or at risk of geetting.
If you fear getting an illness that is cause enough to build resistance to getting it.
ANY remedy can be a prophylaxis remedy and it will build resistance against the sym[ptoms for which the remedy is known.
Since we have about 5000 remedies now, one in theory could spend years using all of them, but that is not the idea.
It makes better sense to decide what the local risks are, how high they are, and to use prophylaxis to develop robustness (of immune system and strength of cells) using remedies appropriate for the areas of risk of the individual (of any species, icluding humans, animals and plants). Use of multiple remedies in this way is never injurious per Hahnemann, even if they are used beyond the prophylaxis need, and used in excess, to induce proving symptoms. (Excess use is NOT advised for prophylaxis, but the point is that it is SAFE to do and efficatious to do).

1 Those trials made.. on himself have for him other and inestimable advantages. In the first place, the great truth that the medicinal virtue of all drugs, whereon depends their curative power, lies in the changes of health he has himself undergone from the medicines he has proved.......
[My note: or used in prophylaxis]
... Let it not be imagined that such slight indispositions caused by taking medicines for the purpose of proving them
[My Note: or using them for prophylaxis]
.. can be in the main injurious to the health. Experience shows on the contrary, that the organism of the prover [prophylaxis user] becomes...... all the more expert in repelling all external influences inimical to his frame and all artificial and natural morbific noxious agents, and becomes more hardened to resist everything of an injurious character, by means of these moderate experiments on his own person with medicines. His health becomes more unalterable; he becomes more robust, as all experience shows.
So you may feel safe and correct in using homeopathic medicines for prophylaxis.
Much homeopathy research has also been dedicated to further prove, that taking remedies can only help one to become more robust, with stronger cell structure and immune/thymus system robustness to enable better resistance to disease.
Namaste,
